As patently silly as it is to list Top 10, or 'best' films, as arbitrary as it must inevitably be, there comes a time to set some markers. The listed films are Filmycks favourites, a certified solid-gold viewing experience for fans of the site. The intention is to give credible nominations in many areas, hopefully to round out anyone's 'must see' wish list. 

Cinema is a broad church, and there is much to explore, hopefully these lists help.
*Where a Filmycks review is completed a link will eventually be attached, or thumbnail sketches will be provided in the interim.

 Let the Top 10 silliness by Country begin..... (more Countries will be added as we get to them)
